From my mailbox:
Dear Friend ,
At what point did it become acceptable to jeopardize the safety and security of our nation simply to score political points?
That’s EXACTLY what Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and their friends in the media have done in their desperate attempt to stop President Donald J. Trump from securing our borders.
By refusing to build a wall, or provide adequate funds to secure our borders, they’ve made you and your family more vulnerable to drug dealers, sex traffickers, and violent criminals.
If you’re as outraged as I am, then please sign our HEARTLAND PETITION FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.
Every day we read about yet another crime against a U.S. citizen by an illegal immigrant shielded by the Democrats’ opposition to border security. Demand action now — before it hits too close to your own home. Thank you.
Yours truly,
Dan Lederman, State Chairman
South Dakota Republican Party
P.S. How can our nation truly be sovereign and safe if we don’t control who is crossing our borders? We can’t, the Democrats know this, and yet they allow it to happen. Sign the petition, contribute $10, $15, $25 or more to the South Dakota GOP, and help us elect more Republicans who care about the security of you and your family.
I’m outraged at Dusty Johnson. He voted with Pelosi and Schumer.
Anon 10:44:
So misleading. Dusty has supported the wall and has supported giving Trump the money needed to do the wall. The approach he has supported has ALREADY put $5 billion into the wall.
That is a good investment and Congress needs to keep it up.
You do us all a HUGE disservice by assuming ANY tactical disagreement makes someone an enemy to the cause. We need to build a team to finish the job. Dusty has been on the “wall team,” throughout the shutdown, during the appropriations votes, and in legislation he has sponsored.
You WON’T make our team stronger by attacking not-quite-pure members of the team.
Well said. I support additional physical barriers along the border, but some South Dakota Republicans are so loony on this issue that they refuse to consider the costs, even if one of those costs is violating the constitutional separation of powers and undermining America’s entire system of representative government.
Without the wall, there’s still hope for 2020. Without the Constitution, America is over.
You are incorrect. It just shows how weak Dusty Johnson is and how he got played by the left and their rhetoric that Trump’s declaration is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers. The AG, William Barr, just disputed that. The POTUS has every right under law to seek these funds when confronted with a dysfunctional Congress only interested in politics when the nation is under a security threat. Dusty simply got played and was my concern from the get go with him.

Very AFP of you.
The AFP and Chamber of Commerce have a vested interest in maintaining an open border. They’ll attack anyone who threatens to build a wall because they know it will work.
I support Dusty.
Over the last 2O years and increasingly
Since 3016, mass murders, acts of terrorism and hate crimes
Are committed by white, GOP men. Look at the stats. Immigrants aren’t the problem.
Since 3016, hum? You also forgot the DC snipers who were Black but those types of crimes are rare and few people are killed compared to the gang wars in border states where illegals tarket American Black youth. The highest percentage of criminals in California are illegal alien Hispanics. So you were saying.
